'Lack' of signings

Really think it's a mistake to look at 'lack' of signings. Lambert proved what could be done with a similar squad and playing football that wasn't scared to attack (Hughton's legacy). Also, if you read Iwan's book regarding Worthington's Premier team he suggests losing some of the Championship squad and brining in the likes of Helveg was a mistake. I'm not saying that you can survive alone on team spirit but with the right manager (let's face it, we have the right manager) a few additions and a positive style of play you can certainly survive. Look at QPR signed goodness knows how many players and look where it got them.

    - we await to see whether Ruddy's "return to form" can be sustained (NCFC) - pab, Aug 4, 09:53:48
      - Yes although Ruddy's worst games have tended to be when he's not under "sustained (NCFC) - Jim, Aug 4, 10:10:36
